homemade external/internal antenna for handheld.
("RST Engineering" wrote)
1. With a standard handheld, what would the average length be (approx) for the rod(s)? It is a function of rod diameter. With an infinitely small diameter wire, the length for each rod would be about 23.2" for a geometric (*) band center of 127 MHz. With a half-inch diameter rod, that would reduce to 20.2 and in between is in between. (*) The geometric center of the band is the square root of the (bottom end of the band times the top end of the band). Thanks for the answers. Montblack |

I wonder if I could take a SO-239 to BNC male adapter, solder the coat hanger rod into the SA-239 and use the setup instead of the rubber ducky antenna on my Icom A23. Will it work?
Thanks a bunch, Victor Quote:
